I love my missus' renault scenic!
Right - just got back from a weekend at disneyland paris with my kids this morning (@2am) and for this little road trip we used my fiancee's 1.4 16v(90hp) renault scenic which is the base of base models! the weekend took over 1000miles of uk and french motorways and i was stunned the old girl took it so well, the car not my fiancee, she slept most of the way!
even with the DVD screens and phone chargers running constantly off the 12v and cruising at 70-82mph I managed 41 mpg UK from warrington to dover, 42mpg calais-paris-calais and roughly 40 dover to warrington. I'll convert those to MPG US soon
Now I've been a fan of the scenic for a while - I've had a 1.6 8v gasser, and the 1.9dci diesel and they are great flexible work horses but I was expecting the little petrol to guzzle under the weight of the kids rubbish/luggage. But exactly the opposite was true!!
who knows I may by another!!!
